3 The Benefits of Y-STR Analysis Forensic casework on sexual assault evidence Relatively high amount of female DNA Mixtures with DNA from multiple male donors Paternity testing Familial searching Missing persons investigations Migration and evolutionary studies Historical and genealogical research 3

4 Overview of the PowerPlex Y23 System Includes all of the loci from PowerPlex Y as well as AmpFlSTR Yfiler Includes six Y-STR loci that are not in any other commercially available kit One system capable of extracted and direct amplification applications Amplify male genomic DNA in an excess of female genomic DNA No amplification products for female genomic DNA Rapid thermal cycling Compatible with the Applied Biosystems 3130 and 3500 Genetic Analyzers 4

72 Known Artifacts Artifacts Listed in the Technical Manual POP7 The PowerPlex Y23 System is optimized for POP-4 polymer. We recognize that some laboratories use POP-7 polymer and therefore have included a protocol in this manual. Some DNA-independent artifacts migrate in the panel range with the POP-7 polymer. Global filters used for database analysis will generally filter these artifact peaks. However, these peaks may be labeled with casework samples. Internal validation should be performed and interpretation guidelines created that describe the artifacts and their impact on data analysis. 72
